More Information about Avanti Audio Vivace Speaker Cables
In response to customer requests over the past few years for wanting a bit more excitement from a speaker cable, we’re proud to announce our answer to this request with our latest generation High-End Audiophile Speaker Cables. What’s different about compared to our popular Allegro speaker cables? First, a little background on the Allegro series speaker cables is in order. At the inception of the Allegro Speaker Cables back in 2010 we focused on creating a speaker cable that would “do no harm” and appeal to a majority of listeners. With this, “do no harm” philosophy and design we were (and still are) able to create a loudspeaker cable in Allegro that pleased and continues to please many audiophiles; that would also marry with myriad of amplifier / speaker combinations and offend very few listeners. However, this philosophy can also lead to a somewhat less than exciting sounding speaker cable with its overall polite “do no harm” character. Enter
The Audiophile Speaker Cables are our offering for audiophiles to choose if they want a more exciting, several-rows-back from the stage type presentation that better showcases detail and dynamics in their music. is essentially more dynamic, more detailed and more expressive than Allegro without going over the top and becoming aggressive or fatiguing. If the micro or macro dynamics are there, will present them in all their glory. If the volume is turned down or turned way up, the details, sound stage and transparency remain stable and airy. The more you listen, the more you’ll appreciate the top to bottom coherency, tonal accuracy and expressive presentation that serves up.
Sticking with a similar physical design as the Allegro Speaker Cables, our Speaker Cables are comprised of four individual runs of cable conductors covered in braided PET and are separated from each other with catalyzed lacquer finished solid Cherry hardwood blocks. The blocks of wood can be slid up or down the cable lengths as needed to keep the cables neatly dressed while lying on the floor. The Cherry hardwood blocks are primarily cosmetic but do serve as a reminder for the user to try to keep the two cables (+ and - runs) for the left channel and two cables (+ and - runs) for the right channel separated from each other with some air space between runs. In this situation with air-space becoming the dielectric between each channel’s positive and negative signal runs, the overall capacitance of the cable pairs remains vanishingly low if not immeasurable.
Each separate run of cable that make up the Vivace Speaker Cables (four runs of cable total per stereo pair) is a highly flexible and easy to work with 8-gauge aggregate of ultra-fine stranded 99.999% OFC copper to feed each speaker and amplifier terminal. We find that the use of high purity OFC conductors for our speaker cables match a great number of equipment types and listener-ears over other metals or metal-mix designs. The resultant sonic signature with high purity OFC in the speaker cable role tends to be on the slightly warm side of neutral and with the Audiophile Speaker Cables, even though they are ever so slightly warm they remain vibrant, detailed and exciting with astounding bass clarity and depth.
